The report notes that Eric Hartter, the man who had Whitney with Em’s ex-wife Kim Scott, is a wanted man after missing his court date. The 40-year-old was expected to face sentencing for a number crimes, including the theft over $200 in Red Bull cans from a CVS and possession methamphetamine and fentanyl. Usually, those crimes would carry a maximum sentence four years in prison but as a multiple-time fender, Hartter is facing life.
Eminem took responsibility for Whitney several years ago when both Hartter and Kim Scott were struggling with drug addiction. He also reportedly adopted Kim’s sister’s daughter Alaina.
An arrest warrant was issued for Eric Hartter this week.
